T-board
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The T-board is a new longboard skateboard with only two wheels. Built specifically to mimic the sensation of carving on a snowboard. The two wheels form an edge right under the arches of your feet, providing the purest carve feel possible on pavement. Any board with more than two wheels is steering a platform, not carving on an edge.
With a typical four-wheel skateboard, the more you want it to turn, the harder you have to push on the rail to make the board steer. On the T-board, with speed, you lean your head and your body and board effortlessly follow. This allows carving without resistance and fluid transitions edge to edge. Just as rollerblades better simulate ice skating than roller skates, likewise the T-board provides a more natural boarding experience and is the only street board to truly carve on a single edge. It is possible to carve at a 60-degree angle, and under a five foot turning radius at slower speeds. T-boards are particularly useful for surfers and snowboarders who use it to stay in good form when the weather conditions are not ideal.
